build a new kernel with
pseudo-device ppp 1 # Point-to-point protocol
in /etc/ppp/options:
/dev/cuaa1
115200
lock
connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat"
crtscts
modem
domain [your domain]
noipdefault
passive
[your IP]:[remote IP]
defaultroute
/dev/cuaa1 is COM2, change [youre domain] and [remote IP], if you have no
own IP, leave the field blank (:[remote IP])
man pppd
and in /etc/ppp/login.caht:
ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO ANSWER" "" ATZ OK ATD[number] \
CONNECT "" ogin: [loginname] ssword: [password]
this is one line, no \ (I donīt know weather it works with the backspace)
man chat
And your provider should have a login like:
Welcome to your Provider
login:
Password:
if not, change login.chat!
And now type pppd as root and you are connected ...
